Exchange Online Mail flow Alert policies

Andres Bohren
Hi All, Maybe you have noticed the new Mail flow Alert policies in Exchange Admin Center. You can define new Alert policies, define the Severity, the Insight, the recipient, the Notification Limit and sometimes also the Threshold for the Alert. For me it's a little bit odd to send an Email in case something does not work well with the Mailflow. It could be that you get the Email very late or even when the issue is already resolved.

Exchange Redirect in Messagetrace

Andres Bohren
Hi All, Recently i had a call from a Collegue. He had the following Scenario: An Email was redirected via Exchange Transport Rule (ETR) Something similar to this one When you now look at the Messagetrace you will see Events like that: Receive Transport Rule Redirect Fail Drop He was a little concerned about the Fail and Drop Events. But that's absolutely fine. Redirect means, the Mail will not reach the orginal Recipient - therefore Fail and Drop.
